plachon Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Sounds like it was for personal use. Whether a bit of grass can help cure diabetes, I have no idea, but it is one of the oldest herbal remedies in the Isaan boondocks, and makes a healthy additive to any chicken soup or gaeng joot. Seems like the cops are going after the minnows as usual and leaving the big fish alone. But then again, they wouldn't want to tread on any large feet or upset their paymasters with investigating the wrong person. Gen Chavalit used to be best buddies with the biggest dealer in Lao weed in Nakhon Phanom back in the 80s and 90s, but was never fingered once by the local cops.

natway09 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Interesting state of affairs here, I was talking to a mate in Christchurch who suggested that very household should grow 3 plants & just see how the authorities handle it. The stuff is harmless & is a great relaxer which could help in stress related problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tso310 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Never heard of it being used for diabetes type 2. Getting the munchies is not good for keeping your weight down and thus helping your diabetes / blood sugar control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard of it either, but-- that's why we have the internet. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=marijuana+and+diabetes&t=ffab&ia=web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
